Manual Description
Charging a frozen or thawed battery could cause explosions and chemical burns! Replace damaged or frozen vehicle batteries immediately. Check the settings and correct as necessary once the vehicle battery has built up a sufficient charge. When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function check.
Connecting the 12 volt vehicle battery Prior to reconnecting the battery, switch off all electrical systems and devices and the ignition. After the battery is connected and the ignition is switched on, different indicator lights may light up. Automatic electrical load deactivation If the vehicle battery drain is high, the intelligent onboard electrical system management automatically takes steps to help prevent battery drain.
The onboard electrical system management cannot always keep the battery from being drained. For example, the battery will drain if the electric motor is not activated, but the ignition is switched on or the parking lights are left on for a long time when parked. What drains the vehicle battery? Long periods when the electric motor is not activated, especially when the ignition is on.
